This report investigates the role of foreign direct investment (FDI) in helping developing countries participate in global value chains (GVCs). It combines the perspectives and strategies from three types of players: multinational corporations, domestic firms and governments. It aims to provide practical guidance for developing countries to develop strategies that use FDI to strengthen GVC participation and upgrading. The report has six main chapters: 1.FDI and GVCs. Assesses the trade-investment nexus and analyzes the effect of FDI in countries'GVC participation and upgrading at the country level. 2.MNCs shape GVC development. Highlights MNCs'contribution to global economy and how their business strategies shape the evolution of GVCs. The chapter also compares MNCs'business strategies in terms of outsourcing and offshoring, risk mitigation and increasing market power across GVC archetypes. 3.Domestic firm perspectives on GVC participation. Looks at the various paths domestic firms can take to internationalize their production and trade. Investigates domestic firm characteristics that predict higher GVC participation, and the effect of GVC participation on firm performance. 4.Investment policy and promotion: what is in a government's toolbox? Summarizes the various policy instruments governments have at their disposal to help attract MNCs to their country and facilitate GVC participation of domestic firms. 5.Integrating countries into GVCs. Draws on a range of case studies to illustrate how governments can develop coherent strategies and policy packages to integrate their countries into GVCs. 6.FDI and GVCs in the wake of COVID-19. Reflects the impact of COVID-19 on FDI and GVCs, the response from multinationals and suppliers, and the implications for GVC reconfiguration. In addition, there are seven case studies that offer more nuanced analysis on the GVC participation in selected countries and sectors: •Five qualitative case studies: Five countries have been selected that managed to use FDI to stimulate GVC participation using a range of approaches. By design, these five countries also cover five different GVC archetypes. These countries are: (1) Kenya (horticulture); (2) Dominican Republic (textiles); (3) Mauritius (tourism); (4) Malaysia (electronics); (5) China (software). •Two quantitative case studies: Rwanda, West-Bengal (India). These use a combination of firm- and transaction level datasets to study firm-level dynamics that explain the role of multinational and domestic firms across GVCs.

This book examines tax transparency as part of multinational enterprises'corporate social responsibility (CSR). It considers revelations like the Panama and Paradise Papers that shed light on corporations'tax practices and the growing public dissatisfaction, resulting in legislative projects, such as the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) base erosion and profit shifting. Tax transparency is defined as companies'voluntary disclosure of numerical tax data (e.g. taxes paid by country) and other tax-related information (e.g. tax policies). It is set apart from tax avoidance and tax evasion to clarify the often-blurred concepts.In this book, tax transparency is placed in a historical context and possible drivers and hindering factors to tax transparency are investigated. Tax transparency is discussed in the light of socio-economic theories (stakeholder, legitimacy, institutional theory and reputation risk management), as well as economic theories (agency theory, signalling, proprietary costs) and information overload theory. The book provides examples of tax transparency development of the largest multinational enterprises in five countries (France, Germany, UK, Finland and USA) in six years, 2012–2017, a period featuring increased media coverage of tax matters and legislative movement in the OECD and the European Union. The future of tax transparency is discussed in light of quality characteristics, assurance of information and potential use of artificial intelligence.Companies'managers and tax and CSR specialists benefit from the book by gaining insight into how to design transparent, high-quality tax reporting. Assurance professionals can use information about the quality criteria of tax transparency. Regulators can track historical development and see examples of voluntary tax transparency in companies'reporting. Scholars and students obtain theoretical framework for analysing the tax transparency phenomenon and the ability to distinguish between the concepts of tax transparency, planning, avoidance and evasion.

Der globale Handel ist mit enormen Herausforderungen verbunden. Die Integration und internationale Einbeziehung der Märkte eröffnete sowohl den Herstellern als auch den Konsumenten die Möglichkeit zur besseren Ausnutzung von Skalenerträgen.

Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Absicherung aus Bankenperspektive. Hierbei soll die gesamte Rolle und die Funktionsweise der Instrumente, die die Banken für ihre Kunden (Exporteure und Importeure) zur Sicherung ihrer internationalen Geschäfte zur Verfügung stellen, gezeigt werden. Wie entstehen Risiken? Wie wichtig ist es, Stolpersteine für die Parteien zu verhindern und welche Aufgabe hat die IHK zur weltweiten Verteidigung der wirtschaftlichen Interessen der Unternehmen? Diese Fragen sollen im Laufe der Untersuchung beantwortet werden.

Several themes emerge in this 2014-2015 edition of the Yearbook. The first is a notable focus on country and region-specific developments. Different articles focus on key developments in such countries as Australia, Brazil, China, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Russia, and South Africa. Others focus on regional innovations, in particular in Latin America. A second area of attention is reform, and proposals for reform, in investor-state dispute settlement and in investment law generally. The third theme is the continued concern about states'regulatory autonomy and the importance of their retaining ability to protect the interests of their nationals. A fourth theme concerns the continued contribution that investment arbitration makes to the development of international law, and the influence that it is starting to have on other areas of law, whether that is as a source of inspiration in the interpretation of other norms or as a source of potentially powerful persuasive authority given the'teeth'that investment law has with respect to enforcement. Included are the winning memorials of the FDI Moot for both 2014 and 2015. In 2014 a team from the University of Ottawa submitted the winning claimant's memorial, while students from Harvard Law School submitted the winning respondent's memorial. In 2015, Harvard repeated its stellar performance, again winning best respondent's memorial. The winning claimant's memorial in 2015 was submitted by students from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. These excellent memorials reveal once again the growing interest of students in international investment law and demonstrate a striving for excellence and an enthusiasm for grappling with intellectually challenging issues.

Im Zuge der Entwicklung einer Internationalisierungsstrategie ist die Berücksichtigung des Marketings als Schnittstelle zwischen Unternehmen und Kunden von zentraler Bedeutung. In diesem Buch werden die vier Dimensionen des Marketing-Mix im Hinblick auf die internationale Ausrichtung behandelt: Produkt-, Preis-, Kommunikations- und Vertriebspolitik. Zudem wird der Einfluss des Internets auf diesen Mix beleuchtet.

Die zentrale Zielsetzung besteht in der Liquiditätssicherung und damit der Sicherung der Unternehmensexistenz. Aus diesem Grund müssen sich Finanzmanager in internationalen Unternehmen darüber Gedanken machen, wie sie Kapital und Zahlungsströme vor dem Hintergrund einer rendite- oder wertorientierten Unternehmenszielsetzung optimieren können. Der Autor zeigt verständlich die Grundlagen, Prozess und Instrumente des Internationalen Finanzmanagements auf. Mit den Themen Mergers & Acquisitions sowie der Private Equity Finanzierung spricht er auch zwei Sonderprobleme an, die in diesem Umfeld eine besondere Rolle spielen. Zur Veranschaulichung enthält der Band Praxisbeispiele und eine ausführliche Fallstudie. Das Buch richtet sich an Praktiker, die einen schnellen Einstieg in das internationale Finanzmanagement suchen sowie an Studierende, die ein praktisches Verständnis für das Thema erlangen möchten.

Im Rahmen des gesetzlichen Bewertungsanlasses der Verschmelzung zweier (oder mehrerer) Unternehmen sieht das Umwandlungsgesetz die Ermittlung eines Umtauschverhältnisses vor. Dazu ist die Bestimmung von objektivierten Unternehmenswerten erforderlich. Zur Bewertung der beteiligten Unternehmen werden einheitliche Risikomaßstäbe angenommen, die sich aber im Rahmen von grenzüberschreitenden Verschmelzungen schwierig auf ein einheitliches Niveau bringen lassen. Anhand eines beispielhaften Bewertungsmodells zeigt der Autor auf, wie die Herleitung eines angemessenen Umtauschverhältnisses auf der Grundlage von objektivierten Unternehmenswerten auch bei Annahme differenzierter Kapitalkosten dennoch gelingen kann.

International investment law today consists of a network of multifaceted, multilayered international treaties that, in one way or another, involve virtually every country of the world. The evolution of this network raises a host of issues regarding international investment law and policy, especially in the area of international investment disputes. The Yearbook on International Investment Law & Policy 2013-2014 monitors current developments in international investment law and policy, focusing on recent trends and issues in foreign direct investment (FDI). With contributions by leading experts in the field, this title provides timely, authoritative information on FDI that can be used by a wide audience, including practitioners, academics, researchers, and policy makers. The 2013-2014 Yearbook begins with trends in international investment and the activities of multinational enterprises, a review of trends and new approaches in international investment agreements for 2013-2014, and a review of international investment law and arbitration for 2013. This edition contains a sample of the research and ideas generated by the Investment Treaty Forum at the British Institute of International and Comparative Law--The Investment Treaty Forum brings together experts in international investment law to engage in high-level debate about salient topics in investment law. This edition covers many important topics, such as the principle of proportionality and the problem of indeterminacy in international investment treaties; proportionality, reasonableness and standards of review in investment treaty arbitration; and the role of investors'legitimate expectations in defense of investment treaty claims. The general articles included in this volume provide analysis of balancing investor protection and regulatory freedom in international investment law. The jurisprudential interaction between ICSID tribunals and the International Court of Justice are also discussed, along with inconsistencies in investor-state awards, the role of state interpretations; old and new ways for host states to defend against investment arbitrations, and approaches and analogies in the countermeasures defense in investor-state disputes. This volume explores the political economy of crises and the international law of necessity after the great recession. In addition to this are articles on minilateral treaty-making and bilateral investment treaties; investment promotion, agencies; the trend toward open contracting; and new regulations on foreign acquisitions of land in Brazil and Argentina. This volume concludes with the winning memorials from the 2013 FDI International Moot Competition.

Cross-border mergers and acquisitions (CBM&As) activity has become an important vehicle for firms'internationalization and corporate restructuring over the past three decades. Despite the huge volume of global CBM&A activity, however, there are few books which carefully explore the strategies, motives, and consequences of global mergers and acquisitions. This book discusses and synthesizes the theoretical literature on the motivation and performance of international merger activities. Focusing on the UK as a top acquiring country in the European Union, the authors explore the recent trends in cross-border mergers and acquisitions, motives for cross-border mergers and acquisitions, the mergers integration process, home and host countries'macroeconomic consequences on mergers and acquisitions, and shareholder's wealth effects on CBM&A.This book explores and sheds much-needed light on the UK CBM&A market, what drives it, and what lessons can be learned for other regions around the globe.

Durch die Globalisierung der Märkte sind die Risiken aus Wechselkurs änderungen in international tätigen Unternehmen stark gewachsen. Inzwischen betreffen sie auch zahlreiche mittelständische Unternehmungen. Das Management von Wechselkursrisiken ist damit zu einer wichtigen Aufgabe vieler Unternehmungen geworden. Der zentrale Ansatz des Verfassers liegt in der These, daß diesem Risiko nicht allein von der Finanzierungsseite her begegnet werden kann. Es reiche nicht aus, deren inzwischen weit ausgebautes Instrumentarium einzusetzen. Vielmehr müßten auch die Interdependenzen zur Leistungsseite berücksichtigt werden, um eine Optimierung der Risikopolitik zu erreichen. Damit greift er ein überaus aktuelles Thema auf. Die Rückwirkungen von Wechselkursrisiken auf den Leistungsbereich und die Reaktionsmöglichkeiten in diesem Sektor sind eine in der wissenschaftlichen Diskussion bisher weitgehend vernachlässigte Fragestellung. Den Ausgangspunkt der Untersuchung bildet eine Analyse der für das Wechselkursrisiko relevanten Märkte. Die intensive Auswertung theoretischer Zusammenhänge und empirischer Ergebnisse zeigt die eingeschränkte Effizienz dieser Märkte. Deshalb führen die Wechselkurse zu einem Risiko für das einzelne Unternehmen, dem durch ein spezifisches Management begegnet werden muß. Um die Interdependenzen zwischen Finanz- und Leistungsbereich analysieren zu können, entwickelt der Verfasser ein Modell, das als Komponenten den Wettbewerb der Unternehmung mit seinen Konkurrenten, die Geschäftspartner auf den Beschaffungs- und Absatzmärkten sowie die Wechselkurse enthält. An diesem Modell kann er die Bedeutung von Wechselkursrisiken analysieren. Seine grundlegende These, daß die Maßnahmen des Leistungsbereichs die direkten wie die indirektenWechselkursrisiken beeinflussen, wird anschaulich und klar begründet.
